My Husband is just in remission from NSCLC, now getting monitoring Chest CTs every 6 months.
He was just diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease stage 3A. I have read that contrast negatively impacts CKD. Not sure what to do.

hi @abob - they can do CT scans without contrast. since your husband is in remission, I bet that would be sufficient for monitoring. I have a slow growing form of lung cancer and I get my scans without contrast.
